Points Palooza was such a success last week we are doing it again this week! You must do the first three assignments. Choose three more activities from the rest of the list. Have your parent send me your points on Friday by REMIND or email. Don’t send me each assignment as you do it. Wait until Friday and send me PICTURES ONLY of your work with your parents sending me how many points you earned this week. 

You must do the first 3 assignments:

1. This week we will learn that kids can enter the business world. You might have a lemonade stand at your local flea market, or you might become a lemonade tycoon! Watch all four videos. Write a short paragraph about each video, explaining what a kid your age did to enter the business world. 40 points
